CSS 65 with all the mods

[masterswimmer]

I've finally bitten the bullet and did a serious upgrade on my skimmer for my 16g nano.

This leaves one of you folks as the lucky person to acquire my modded out CSS 65.

Follow through all the pix to the end and then you'll get to see the price

Full view:

Discharge mod (the foam is the bubble diffuser:

Surface skimming mod (all the pvc fittings allow the water to be drawn from the surface, eliminating 'oil slicks'):

Collection cup overflow mod (the ball valve tapped into the collection cup directs all skimmate through the vinyl tubing to the one gallon container):

More pix below.............

Venturi self cleaning mod:

Skimmate:

Cleaned collection cup (as you will receive it):

Cleaned up skimmer, ready for sale:

I also have another BRAND NEW pump for this skimmer. So you will receive both pumps, one used for 10 months (works perfectly) and one brand new.

The total for everything is $65.

Please post your intent on the thread so people can see the order of dibs

BTW, the skimmer works great.

Thanks for looking,
Russ

Thanks for the :bump: .

Venturi's can and do eventually clog from calcium buildup. This mod draws moist air from the collection cup (quick connect fitting on the top of the collection cup) through the vinyl tubing directly to the venturi. This keeps the venturi clean and never needs any maintenance.

Thanks fire. I still have the 'wall'. It's doing great, but FTS pix are very difficult with a bow tank.

I don't think you were interested in the CSS 65 (or at least you didn't say so). Since you were first to respond (aside from grisha), I'll put you first on the list.

Dibs list:
1-firehazard
2-nycitaliano9
3-Shaun
4-DonCisco

If you're interested please post here by tomorrow or the next in line moves up to #1 . We can arrange for pp & delivery/pickup as well.

Thanks everyone.
